NFL Football Week 4 Betting Tips
You just know this week will be all about Brett Favre facing off against the Packers for the first time in his illustrious NFL career.
But that’s on Monday night, and until Monday Night Football gets here, Week 4 of the 2009 NFL football season still has games that will keep you jacked before we all head to Minnesota for Favre’s biggest test yet.
Let’s kick things off with the New England Patriots. At 2-1, they are nowhere near from the form they displayed when Tom Brady and Randy Moss were both setting records two years ago. But after beating a very good Atlanta Falcons team 26-10 last week, it may have brought some of their mojo back.
They need it to since they have the Baltimore Ravens visiting them at Gillette Stadium this Sunday. The Ravens are on a roll as they go for their fourth straight win in as many games. Surprisingly, while their defense remains as solid as ever, it has been their offense that has done a great job in helping this team to this fast 3-0 start. They are hoping for another stellar performance from wide receiver Derrick Mason, who reached a milestone during their 34-3 win against Cleveland Browns.
Our pick? We’re going with the New England Patriots by a field goal.
Touted as one of the most interesting games of Week 4, the New York Jets head to the Superdome to take on the high powered New Orleans Saints. Mark Sanchez is the first NFL rookie quarterback to lead his team to a 3-0 start and right now, he is the odds on favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award. But is he for real?
A win over the New Orleans Saints will definitely give us an idea. After all, the Saints have that stingy defense that’ll force any quarterback out of the pocket, running for his dear life. And aside from that, the Saints still have that powerhouse at the other side of the ball, quarterback Drew Brees. If Sanchez can outplay Brees, then this rookie from Southern California definitely has something for sure.
We’re picking the New Orleans Saints though. Saints by three.
Another interesting game this week is this contest between the San Diego Chargers and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. The Chargers can’t seem to get LaDainian Tomlinson going. Hell, LT isn’t even sure if he will be available for the Chargers on Sunday night. Luckily for them, the Steelers are also having some problems of their own, and it all started with the loss of star safety, Troy Polamalu.
Yep, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been struggling. Since losing Troy Polamalu, they have lost two in a row, landing them to the third spot in the AFC North. This is the exact same position the Steelers have been after winning Super Bowl XL and after three weeks into the season, looks like the Steelers have this Super Bowl hangover slowing them down all over again.
Who’ll take the win on Sunday Night Football? Since this game will probably be a defensive football contest, we’re taking the Pittsburgh Steelers.
